A member asked:

Is "withdrawal" bleeding from plan b counted as period? and could it make expected period late ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mary David answered

Yes: It is counted as a period and will change the timing of your next period. It will not, however, necessarily be 28 days after the withdrawal bleeding.
